The middle and high school of Sainte Anne d’Auray !!!

Posted in Bretagne

I have written several posts on this town but feel missing some shots and finally today took the time to take these pictures as was passing by again, it is part of my normal routing to from home to Vannes, our capital City of the beautiful Morbihan and lovely region of Bretagne. The town is well known by all Sainte Anne d’Auray ,and all revolves around the Basilica minor of Sainte Anne. Let met tell you about something interesting me think just around the basilica, the Middle/High School Sainte Anne !! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

As I pass by here almost every day in my road warrior trips locally, it is a must to stop and glance at the basilica, However, there is a fine nice institution just around it that is top rated for those families seeking a Catholic education and more, The most important factor here is that it evolves around the Basilica of Sainte Anne and you know the traditional culture of the Bretons as said Sainte Anne is the mother of Mary and grandmother of Jesus Christ; patron Saint of Bretagne  known by Breton as the grand-mère or grandmother.

The nice building passing by and finally some pictures of it is the Collége/Lycée Sainte Anne-or middle and high school St Anne ,located at the corner of 2 rue de Locmaria and rue de Vannes behind the Basilica Sainte Anne d’Auray in the town of Sainte Anne d’Auray, It is a Catholic education private high school institution depending on the Academy of Rennes.

A bit of history tell us that they open in 1885 with a complex started by priest Gabriel Deshayes in Auray with the participation of the Jesuit Brothers, In 1990 this minor seminary becomes the Collège Lycée Sainte Anne, and in 1995 it was merged of the Sainte Anne/Saint Louis high schools, Birth of the current school complex.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
